I don’t always understand the students’ results and what goes into their overall score.

I am able to use I-Ready assessments as a data collection tool. It records their level at the beginning, middle, and end with the diagnostic testing. It then gives us accurate and informative steps to use for the student to continue with their growth.

The learning process is kind of random. Whenever you do something and you fail (70% -) It gives you something below that level but it is usually random so that's what I dislike the most.
